Ratcheting Up Your Web-Browsing Privacy

With a free public proxy, you browse to its Web page and enter the URL of the website you want to visit. The proxy acts as an agent, hides your IP address, and makes the request on your behalf. Thus your browsing is anonymous. However, public proxies are cumbersome to work with because you have two browsing steps for each Web page you want to visit — the proxy and then the website itself.
